They conducted tests in Turkey's Chernobyl, and the results were much worse than expected.

In Gaziemir, İzmir, nuclear waste that has been buried for 17 years has begun to be cleaned up after long efforts. It is reported that during the work in the area, which was attempted to be cleaned by inexperienced companies using shovels and picks, around 1 kg of radioactive dust spread around İzmir, posing a significant risk to all of Turkey.

THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF CANCER DEATHS

Residents of the area stated that the process should be carried out in light of scientific studies, noting that there has been a significant increase in the number of people dying from cancer recently.

"WE ARE LIVING IN FEAR, WE ARE VERY ANXIOUS"

Calling on the authorities, residents expressed, "We are living in great fear, we are anxious. We can't open our windows because of the smell. They are literally poisoning the people. Diseases are very common in the neighborhood. 30 people have died of cancer here in 2 years," and stated that they are waiting for help.

A TEST WAS CONDUCTED LIVE

Renowned journalist Uğur Dündar sent his reporter and retired academician Dr. Enver Yaser Küçükgül to the area, referred to as "Turkey's Chernobyl," to conduct a notable study.

During a live broadcast, Dr. Küçükgül conducted a test with his device in the area that has been emitting death for 18 years, announcing the result: "There is 219 times the safe limit of radiation here. This is a radioactive site; the amount of radioactive sources needs to be determined. In no study conducted so far has the actual amount in the field been measured. To measure the actual amount, drilling must be done from there to solid ground, and the core samples taken during this drilling must be subjected to complete analysis. Only after these determinations can we discuss the amount of radiation in the field," he stated.
